Decatur court, attorney rely on Spanish translators – Alabama

Tagged: ,

“About six years ago, Decatur Municipal Court Judge Bill Cook said that he realized his Spanish skills weren’t a substitute for a courtroom interpreter.

Cook said he tried to tell a defendant in Spanish that he would be able to leave the courtroom soon, but Cook’s instructions were lost in the translation. After listening to the judge, the defendant fidgeted in his chair and looked toward the door.”
